Hi guys,
I've been lurking at THR for a while now, but this will be my first time actually posting. I could use your expert opinions!
I've only gotten really into firearms and hunting in the last year. I've got a Remington 700 and have now set my sights on my first pistol, specifically a CZ 75 SP01 (well, and a Browning BLR that I'm currently obsessing hard about!).
Here's the rub: I'm looking for some ammunition suggestions for home defense, with particular attention to cost-effective (but still reputable) brands and manufacturers for stockpiling/SHTF.
Federal, Hornady,
As a correlary, can someone give me a quick rundown on +p / +P+ ammo - is it vitally important for self-defense rounds, especially in 9mm Para? I don't think I've picked up the nuances in the hot load argument...
I'm sure that some of this will boil down to what the pistol shoots well, but in an ideal world, I'd like to find a particular box of ammo that I can trust to serve me well if things go bump in the night AND I can start putting back an extra box or two when I can that won't break the bank.
Thanks for your help in advance - as a firearms newbie, there's a lot to digest and wade through.
